The book tells the parallel stories of a young mans halting coming of age and a nation stalled in an unwinnable war, revealing the fallout that ensued when the two collided: a fumbling recovery effort that suppressed intelligence on Bergdahls true location and bungled multiple opportunities to bring him back sooner; a homecoming that served to deepen the nations already-vast political fissure; a trial that cast judgment on not only the defendant, but most everyone involved. The books beating heart is Bergdahl himselfan idealistic, misguided soldier onto whom a nation projected the political and emotional complications of service.</p><p>Based on years of exclusive reporting drawing on dozens of sources throughout the military, government, and Bergdahls family, friends, and fellow soldiers, <em>American Cipher</em> is at once a meticulous investigation of government dysfunction and political posturing, a blistering commentary on Americas presence in Afghanistan, and a heartbreaking story of a nave young man who thought he could fix the world and wound up the tool of forces far beyond his understanding.</p>...4219274American Cipher112124https://www.gandhi.com.mx/american-cipher-9780735221055/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3927797/fc95cdbd-2554-4ac2-a96a-5c01a12e32c0.jpg?v=638386088202500000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3924122/fc95cdbd-2554-4ac2-a96a-5c01a12e32c0.jpg?v=638386082869630000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20199780735221055_W3siaWQiOiIxMWE3MmY4NC0xOWMzLTQ1N2ItOWMwZS0yNzdhODA2NjdiMTkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE0MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE0LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjEyNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780735221055_<p>The explosive narrative of the life, captivity, and trial of Bowe Bergdahl, the soldier who was abducted by the Taliban and whose story has served as a symbol for Americas foundering war in Afghanistan</p><p>An unsettling and riveting book filled with the mysteries of human nature. <em>Kirkus</em></p><p>Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl left his platoons base in eastern Afghanistan in the early hours of June 30, 2009.
